The Castelo dos Mouros (Castle of the Moors). The outer wall and fortifications of the castle seen from down below the rocky cliffside on which it stands. Jagged rocks and lush greenery cover the hillside. The castle wall follows the undulating rock features, rising up along the rough outcrop of rocks. Flags fly over the lookout points atop of the castle wall.
The Moorish Castle in Sintra, Portugal, winds along rugged cliffs, its ancient stone walls offering sweeping views of lush forests and distant ocean. Moss-covered battlements whisper tales of conquest, defense, and centuries-old history. #MoorishCastle #Sintra #Medieval #CastleRuins #Portugal
